As you are ready to stamp using the Painted Harvest Photopolymer Set, place the cardstock on the Stampin' Pierce Mat. Using the mat will help you get a cleaner image each time you stamp. Put a piece of Grid Paper on top of the Mat to protect it from ink.
Mount the larger, less detailed flower image from the Painted Harvest Set on Block D. Ink it up with the Real Red Ink Pad. Stamp it 3 times across the 2-3/4" x 9" strip of Pumpkin Pie Cardstock remembering to re-ink the stamp each time. Leave the stamp on the block.
Re-ink the stamp with Real Red Ink. Rotate it 90 degrees and stamp it again over the top of the previously stamped images remembering to re-ink each time. Leave the stamp on the block.
Re-ink the stamp with the Real Red Ink. Stamp it 2 times across the 2-1/4" x 4" strip of Pumpkin Pie Cardstock remembering to re-ink the stamp each time. Leave the stamp on the block.

Unlock the Daisy Punch. Hold it upside down so you see the punching area. Punch out all three flowers stamped on the 2-3/4" x 9" piece of Pumpkin Pie Cardstock.
Cut three long, thin slivers of cardstock from the edge of the punched Pumpkin Pie cardstock. Use a tiny bit of SNAIL on the end of each strip to attach them to the back of the 3 punched out flowers as handles.

Tip: They don't have to be perfectly centered. You are just cutting off the ends. If you prefer, you can just use the Paper Snips to cut off the ends, but then they won't be as even.
Adhere the three flower punch outs to each other so they are each a little offset to create a full flower.
Tip: To make sure the flower punch outs stay stuck to each other, use a tiny bit of Tear & Tape Adhesive or a Mini Glue Dot in the center of each one on the back.

Pick out the stitched oval die from the Stitched Shapes Dies that cuts out a stitched oval that is 2-3/4". Put it on top of the stamped sentiment on a platform on your cutting and embossing tool so the sentiment is centered top to bottom and slightly to the right. Run through the tool.

Use the mini spatula on the Take Your Pick to carefully peel up a large gem from the sheet of Gold Faceted Gems making sure that you get the adhesive backing as well. Adhere it to the center of the flower.
Cut a 4" piece of the Real Red 3/8" Cotton Ribbon.
Tie a half knot in the center of the ribbon. Trim the ends.
